Where the two actually differ on the specs we track (6 of 12). Matching specs are omitted.
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Three whitelisted hands-on testers (SoundGuys, TechRadar, What Hi-Fi) agree the OpenRun Pro 2 are among the best bone-conduction headphones for runners: lightweight (~30g), stable, comfortable, and aware of surroundings, with a 12-hour battery and USB-C fast charging (5 min = 2.5h). They split sharply on sound quality, and none published lab measurements (SoundGuys notes its Bruel & Kjaer 5128 rig cannot accurately measure bone-conduction frequency response). (3 sourced reviews, 3 lab-tested.)
Praised: Lightweight (~30g), stable and comfortable fit for hours of wear; Open-ear design preserves situational awareness for road safety; 12-hour battery with fast charging (5 min = 2.5h).
Flagged: Sound lacks depth, body and punch versus in-ear rivals; Confusing button/controls layout, hard to distinguish by feel; IP55 rating is lower than the cheaper OpenRun's IP67.
Only one whitelisted tester (Tom's Guide) published a hands-on review of this exact model. Its reviewer rates the Mojawa Run Plus a strong buy: light, comfortable bone-conduction headphones with genuinely good, customisable sound in and out of the water, but with hungry battery life at high volume (~5 hours when listened to near max) and a fussy fit when worn with a swim cap. Single-source, so there is no cross-tester consensus. (1 sourced review, 1 lab-tested.)
Praised: Light, comfortable design for long wear; Enjoyable, customisable sound, including underwater; Fast charging (5-minute top-up).
Flagged: Hungry battery life at high volume; Poor fit when worn with a swim cap; Sensitive touch controls trigger accidental inputs.
